[flexcoders] textAlign not working for TabBar

[phall121]

I'm not to get textAlign="left" working on the TabBar
control.  I've searched the archives and find no 
references to this issue.

Is my code flawed in some way that I'm just not catching?

   <mx:TabBar direction="vertical" dataProvider="{vacCAppList}" 
        labelField="app" width="300" textAlign="left"      
        itemClick="fSelectApp(event)"/>

Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, have you found
a work-around.
